R1250RS Newbie

[ESquared]

You can also pick up the rear rack as a factory install. $175, as I recall. The big savings is if you want to swap a seat. $75 if you order it that way, ~$475 if you change your mind later.

I'm 6'4" w/35" inseam so my body made up my mind for me already -- Sport Seat it is. As another fellow tall person, how do you find the ergos? My K1200RS with stock seat in the high position and stock pegs in the low and had no issues. I didn't find a R1250RS to test ride so am committed to making it work now; lowered pegs, bar risers, whatever.

I went with the Suburban Machinery peg lowering kit as well as the Sport seat and the Wunderlich bars. I'm about a 34" inseam, but I've had my right hip replaced (and right shoulder surgery), so I was trying to open up the "triangle" as much as possible.

It's not "T120" relaxed, but it's just fine, knowing that putting one's hips/knees/feet in that "sporting" position isn't something you do every day (or, in my case, EVER), so the tendons (both hips) are getting a workout, but that's good!

Now that I have about 160 miles in, I'm toying with rotating the bars back toward me just a bit, as there's plenty of room to do so. That's a pure tweak, more than anything else.
